Raccolta di Ceramiche d'Arte Contemporanea Gian Carlo Bojani

The Gian Carlo Bojani Contemporary Art Ceramics Collection in Corinaldo presents works gathered by the scholar and museum director Gian Carlo Bojani.

Why it matters

The collection preserves Bojani's personal view of contemporary ceramic art. Works by established artists appear alongside early experiments, showing the range of approaches and techniques represented in modern ceramics.

What to notice

About two hundred works vary in form, scale and technique, from thrown vessels to hand-built sculpture and glazed pieces. Their diversity reflects both functional and expressive uses of clay. The collection occupies rooms within Palazzo Brunori, a historic residence later restored for civic use.

Context and history

Bojani was born in Fano in 1938 and directed the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza from 1974 to 2001. He also edited the ceramics journal Faenza and advised museum projects in several Italian towns. After his death in 2013, Corinaldo received his ceramics and part of his library. The collection opened as a permanent deposit in 2014.
